MTSS Integrated Conference '26

Shana Anders, PT, DPT is a school-based pediatric physical therapist with a passion for helping educators, families, and students make sense of challenges that are often misunderstood as motivation, behavior, or effort. Her work is shaped by both professional experience and life within a neurodiverse family, giving her a unique perspective on the realities of supporting executive function across home, school, and community environments.

Drawing from her background in physical therapy, executive function, ADHD, autism, regulation, and school participation, Shana helps teams better understand the hidden demands affecting student success and identify practical supports that fit naturally within existing routines and systems. Her approach blends evidence-based practice, real-world implementation, and a healthy respect for the complexities educators and families navigate every day.
